I2ve been tryin' to tell you About a thing I thought I saw It came to me in a dream one night When a voice began to call
I heard my name being summoned As I looked around to see A hooded judge and jury There was no mercy there for me
Well, I can2t make it, I can't figure it out This dream is drivin' me crazy I gotta know what it2s all about The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear
A cold wind2s blowin', ooh, right down my back I2m runnin, I'm runnin2, I'm runnin2 From a figure that's dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead 'Cause I2m runnin2 but I'm going nowhere The bad dream2s comin' closer and closer I got a feelin2 he'll always be there
Forever is a long time to spend in agony And the demons of confusion Have got a place for me The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear
I was tired, so tired of runnin2 I had to turn and look around I saw eyes that looked right through me And a voice that made no sound
My body froze, I stood and stared Unearthly face before me From the depths of a hooded nightmare I saw what could not be
Mysteries and mayhem from the pinnacle I see There's no answer when there is no question The mark of Cain bears hard on me
